Good morning. It’s Amy with Chalkbeat New York.
Chalkbeat Ideas editor Matt Barnum dove into teacher turnover data from 21 states since 2019. Most of those states, he found, experienced four to five consecutive years of elevated teacher turnover, compounding the losses year after year. High-poverty schools were particularly affected. While attrition has finally begun to cool, the multi-year cumulative losses continue to affect schools.
